Now it’s the scholars of Belgium who are raging over the suboptimal nature of their educations:
Student riots plaguing France have spread to Belgium, where hundreds of hooded thugs are clashing with police.
The country’s French-speaking community have taken to the streets to protest swingeing cuts to Belgium’s education budget, as the government seeks to save at least €10billion over the coming years to reduce a high deficit.
Inspired in part by protests across the border in France, Belgian school students have taken to the streets in recent days in several towns.
Police said as many as 30,000 demonstrators have flooded Brussels, an ‘unprecedented’ number, after they began arriving at around 9.30am local time today.
They threw cobblestones, bricks, glass bottles, fences and traffic signs at police. One cop was seen taking a samurai sword away from a protester.
These rioters were seen congregating around Brussels Central Station, which sits in between both the European Parliament and the country’s legislature building.
Footage showed demonstrators running amok near the major railway hub. One clip showed masked and hooded figures throwing things into a fire as police stood by watching.
The gathered crowd was heard cheering and whooping as more things were thrown into the inferno.
I just think it’s amusing that we’re still supposed to pretend to believe that the rioters are “students” or that any of this has anything to do with young people desperate for better educations.
